#ActiveLives Adult Survey Report ๐ฃ Activity levels have bounced back to pre-pandemic levels
There are 1.5m more active adults than in 2015/16
Results are a testament to those working & volunteering in physical activity as well as the significant investment of @DCMS and @TNLUK money, that has helped the sector to recover.
This is the first survey since the pandemic to cover a year without covid restrictions.
Itโs positive progress, but there's still work to be done.

Glad to join @AllianceOfSport, @NHSEngland et al for the launch of their #GetWellStayWell framework this morning.
The value of sport & physical activity as a tool for health promotion is immense, and one we will continue to champion as @Sport_England.

Timely discussion following the launch of the new phase of @ThisGirlCanUK last week too.
At @Sport_England we will continue to support women and girls to be active, and work to close the gender gap.
